The gauge on my finished monster is 5 st/inch across, and 7 st/inch high, although since it’s a toy, I imagine the gauge is not as important as if it were clothes.

I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes on my finished monster for the body, and Lion Brand Wool-Ease for the horns.

This pattern makes use of k2tog, kfb. kitchener stitch, short rows, and mattress stitch (in the interest of full disclosure, I didn’t block any of the monsters I knit, I don’t block toys in general). The whole monster is knitted in the round, every piece of him.
